League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Seeing that Ah Guang was not only not backing down but also swaggering around and even defecating on the big bug's neck, Little Peanut became even more cautious.

He didn't know if Ah Guang was bluffing or if he really had someone backing him.

Peanut hesitated for a moment and said, "Sang-hyeok hyung, he knows I'm here but he's still holding back. Could someone be behind him?"

Faker immediately switched to the top lane and, after gathering information, said, "Don't gank anymore. If we get counter-ganked, they'll have enough damage to kill you. We need to drag this game out. Don't engage unless you're 100% sure."

"Yes, sir!"

Little Peanut breathed a sigh of relief and then quietly withdrew.

Meanwhile, the factory manager, who had been waiting at the entrance to the river in the bottom lane jungle for a while, also left.

This move by the factory manager is purely a risk-hedging strategy. If Peanut in the top lane is really stubborn and dares to make a move, then he will also make a move in the bottom lane.

But now that Peanut hasn't made a move, the factory manager naturally won't reveal his position.

The two mid-lane carries were the only ones being ignored, and their laning phase was relatively stable. They were simply farming minions, creating a peaceful and friendly atmosphere.

But Faker was already on high alert, and he would show no mercy if Li Chen made a mistake.

Actually, at this point in the early game, Faker's plane had an advantage in duels, but Li Chen's distance control was just too good, and he never gave Faker any space to make a move.

However, Faker wouldn't dare to directly use his W to engage in a direct confrontation, since Li Chen isn't Xiaohu. Even when injured, Li Chen still has the ability to seize opportunities.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, neither side did much except farm minions and develop their strength. The only incident was a clash between the junglers in the river, with the goal of contesting a river crab.

Finally, with the intervention of both mid-laners, both players realized their mistakes and parted ways after exchanging Smite.

As for who gets the crab, Pig Nose's actions naturally can't compete with Peanut, who's still in the peak of his reaction.

Miller marveled at the situation: "Both sides are developing steadily right now, neither side is making any aggressive moves, and the economic gap is very tight. This kind of situation is rare in EDG's matches."

"It's mainly the finals. Both sides played quite cautiously. C-God also picked Azir, a late-game carry. If you want to get kills in the early game, it's basically impossible to rely on Azir alone, as the hero itself doesn't have that mechanism," Guan Zeyuan said objectively.

"However, if things continue to develop like this, both sides' lineups will be acceptable, and they will both be able to fight in the late game. But the first fire dragon will probably be contested by both sides. C God will be level six soon, which will be a turning point for Azir," Rita added.

In the mid lane, Li Chen and Faker cleared their respective minion waves and leveled up to level six almost simultaneously. They then headed towards the dragon pit together.

However, half a minute earlier, both sides had begun to control vision around the Fire Dragon. SKT had Karma, who was safer to place vision than Lulu, and they also secured the river first.

Now that they have the initiative, Bang used his Q skill to wake up the dragon and pull it towards the bottom lane, but he didn't continue to fight it.

EDG's bot lane is at a slight disadvantage, squeezed at the blue buff spawn point. With the dragon in front of them, they dare not go down and can only take a detour upwards.

As the aggro was drawn away, Xiaolong slowly returned to the dragon pit, and the positions of both sides were also determined. SKT's four players occupied the area below the dragon pit, while EDG occupied the area above the dragon pit.

At this point, SKT wasn't in a hurry to take the dragon. With Corki, Ezreal, and Karma, they were able to harass the enemy team with ease, and even had the leisure to pull the blue buff that the red team had just respawned.

Seeing that the factory manager and his teammates were gradually losing health due to poor positioning by SKT, Li Chen decisively activated the dragon and used it to block SKT's damage.

The two sides traded blows for a full minute. Due to the limited means of initiating team fights and the distance between them, neither side took the initiative to engage, nor did they manage to take down the dragon.

SKT seized the opportunity to steal a blue buff, while EDG secured a raptor.

After seven and a half minutes, both sides probably felt that continuing this tug-of-war was not a good idea, and since they each had their own path to a hunger strike, they finally decided to call it quits and go their separate ways. As for Xiao Long, they could only wait for another opportunity.

"Both sides were pulling and tugging at each other, neither of them was confident of winning, and in the end they went back to their respective lanes. However, this tug-of-war allowed C to farm two more waves of minions, and he is now leading Faker by about ten minions. Meanwhile, SKT's bottom lane has also expanded its economic advantage."

As soon as Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, the camera suddenly gave Li Chen a close-up.

In the video, Li Chen gently touched the swollen and bloodshot area of ​​his right wrist, his brows furrowing slightly.

This scene, witnessed by the audience, instantly sparked heated discussions.

[He really made me cry!]

[C's absence isn't due to a lack of desire to play; he's simply past his prime.]

[C: Ignite my future years, let's continue our peak performance for three more games!]

[That day, the injured C-God fought Flying Emperor for three hundred rounds in the mid lane and remained undefeated!]

I can't even imagine how many laps he'd have to run to be satisfied after winning the championship.

I suspect he's acting!

Ten minutes in, the first turning point of the game arrived. The factory manager called on Rumble to support him and they were fighting for the river crab in the top lane.

As Li Chen watched the plane carrying explosives approach, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, so he quickly signaled and retreated under the tower.

"The factory must be evacuated immediately!"

Li Chen's reminder was timely, but the factory manager didn't react in time, or rather, he was blinded by the censorship.

Gragas emerged from the shadows, E-flashed and stunned Clearlove. Clearlove couldn't use Flash, and Rumble immediately used his ultimate to divide the battlefield, preventing Cho'Gath from getting close. However, Gragas directly used his ultimate to blast Sejuani back.

The plane then arrived, and the player used W to approach Rumble, firing two missiles to force him back before turning to attack Sejuani.

"Top lane Sejuani has been engaged upon, this position is very dangerous, Flash hasn't been used yet, but it seems like there's no chance left, mid lane C has used Teleport, he's going to bot lane, is this position safe? SKT bot lane is signaling to retreat."

Varus accelerated forward, stepping on Lulu's foot, and flashed to use his ultimate, which Karma dodged with a flash. C teleported to a spot, placed sand soldiers near the wall, and used his E to control the minions, sending them flying a considerable distance. He then flashed and used his ultimate, pushing Karma back.

"Sejuani is dead, giving up first blood, which Corki got. SKT immediately rotates to Rift Herald. EDG killed Karma here. Can they take the dragon? Ezreal can't move, he's out of skills."

The situation was changing rapidly, and the simultaneous opening of two battlefields made Miller and Guan Zeyuan speak much faster.

Although it was a one-for-one trade, SKT clearly came out on top, since Li Chen lost a teleport that had just cooled down.
